Answer to "Citizcn."

A communication in the HERALD
yesterday, signed CITIZEN, inquiring
Of what had become OF the city tax
collector, and complaining of police
men collecting taxes, asks for an eX-
planation why things are thus: In
the first place the HERALD will state
that had Citizen" made the inquiry
few days ago there would have been
more cause perhaps than at the pres
cnt time. Last Saturday night the
city council repealed the objection
able ordinance. The police do not
collect taxes except occupation tax,
and only then by order of the council.
The council a few weeks ago appoint
ed Policeman Sc"tt on special duty to
serve notices on all persons who had
not paid their occupation tax. These
are the tax the policemen collected,
and while it is the duty of the tax col
lector to collect taxes, this matter was
taken hold Of by the city council and
the officers followed out the councils
instructions.

Blake knew all the lawyers WI prac-
iced at the bar in the county. and he
was especially well acquainted with Ed
win NJ. Stanton, who often anne over
from Steubenville. Stants was then
young man, and Blake 1 X a sort Of
fatherly interest in him. fter time,
however, he left Steubenville and the
two men lost sight of each other.
At last, one winter when Stanton
aad gotten to be Secretary of War;
Blake took notion he would come to
Washington to see him. He did so.
On going to the War Department he
asked to be shown 10 the Secretary's
room. The messenger asked for his
card and told him he would have to
wait and see whether the Secretary
could see him. This rather nettled
Blake, who was q rough old customer,
but he finally wrote down his name and
the messenger departed. 1t was full
quarter of an hour before he returned
and this TO Blake seemed a day. He
grew hotter and hotter as the time
went on, and at last. marching up to
the door, went into the reception room,
then through into the private Office,
where the War Secretary was in coun-
ell with some friends. He marched up
10 Stanton with black look on his face,
and, without giving him a chance to
greet him. SAID: "Mr. Stanton, you
no doubt think yourself a great man.,
but il seems TO me You are acting like a
mighty small one. Here l, who have
helped you out Of many a scrape, have
been waiting for an hour down in that
hall to see you. don't want anything
now except to tell you that you are
blanked snob, and you are getting q
!eetle too big for your breeches."
With that he turned upon his heel and
left. Whether they ever made up tho
